This is disgusting. And killing our sport

IMO sports like football and hockey are much more violent than paintball ever could be. You dont see broken bones, busted teath, and tramatic brain injuries/concussions in paintball. Maybe the occasional twisted ankle... or a yelling match between you and someone that overkills/whipes... but really nothing more. This is why i despise public media. ALL PROPAGANDA

u know paintball is actually concidered the safest sport even safer than golf. and another thing just a week ago my 10 year old brother learned how to make a smoke bomb by taking a ping pong ball wraping it in tin foil and lighting it on fire t lasted for 15 secs. this was an in school science project so that being said should we ban school also?

Congratz....Theres a crazy person that plays paintball just like crazy people play football baseball soccer and basically all other sports. I wish these news ******s would just once in there life go to a field and actually watch real players to see that were not crazy. The fact that our sport has the slightest thing to do with guns makes us all phycopathic killers. No. We have a safe sport for many people to enjoy. Never once while playing paintball have a had the urge to kill some1 nor have i ever used paintball to take out my anger. They say paintballers dont want to hear anything that connects him to paintball....DAMN RIGHT WE DONT WANNA HEAR IT!!!! its all bull****. and this my friends is why we will never be on ESPN again. Unless the entire industry goes out of there way to make a AAA title to show what our would is actually like. Nothing will change

This is just the worst way to portray our great sport. Like everyone is saying, just cause we use "guns" (even though they are technically markers) we are all not killers. I come from a household with 3 guns for every 1 person. We all know how to shoot and are all decent shots. We use our gun at a range or for hunting. My markers are only shot at fields or they are firing re-balls at a pillow in my house. If they are not being used for those two purposes, they are put away. I have 2 kids and they know what a marker is and the older one knows what a gun is and can tell you the difference. Markers hurt, guns kill. We are not a violent sport considering my home field kicks you from the field for 30 min for removing or lifting your mask on the field. Every place I go for this the rules are the same and all in black and white. We play this sport because we love it and have fun. Not cause we are all deranged. We are crazy to play but that's part of the fun and excitement

The real problem, is that although Colorado is a carry state, (permit to carry a concealed weapon is legal there), Cinemark doesnt allow any weapons in any of its establishments. Now this may seem like a good idea, and I see many people jumping on the "stricter gun laws" bandwagon, but the last 2 public shootings in Colorado, which were at the New Destiny Church, and the New Life Church, were both ended quickly because people in the crowd being fired upon were allowed to carry weapons and exercised this right. Both of the last shooters were killed by bystanders that were carrying, before they could take many innocent lives. The last massacre in colorado, (columbine), and the shooting at VA Tech were in zones where it was illegal to have a gun even with a CCW. Im not saying that I'm 100% sure things would have been different if the movie goers were allowed to carry, but it should be their right to protect themselves. The news should be attacking Cinemark for infringing on its Customers rights and creating a massacre out of a potentially avoidable event. Lets face it, someone willing to commit murder, isn't going to be too worried about breaking a few laws regarding where its legal to carry a weapon.

i agree you cant tell me he didnt know that no body could have a gun without breaking the "law" in this area/building

people like him pray on the week he didnt want anyone to have a chance to hurt/stop him. this was well thought out and he definitly used paintball taktics thats why he was hiding behind air ball bunkers and had 200 round clips... oh wait

one more thing

overkills? this is another thing that is bringing the sport down... ive never killed anyone in paintball i have marked players peltnty of times but cant say i ever killed anyone? just please use correct termonalgy

If the media didn't spit out the suspects names and photos and spend countless nonstop days covering the event then likely people wouldn't do them. They are likely people abput to commit suicide who see people do things like this in the media and get attention so they do it themselves. Blame the media. Impeach obama. Buy a firearm.

He ate food to give him the energy to do it, LET'S BLAME FOOD ALSO AND WHILE WERE AT IT LET'S BLAME AIR SINCE HE BREATHED IT lol
